[QUOTE="gwunter, post: 1345320, member: 9742"] Get a piece off HSS and custom grind it if need be.....on a surface grinder if you can. But you might be able to find a cutter with the proper tip angle on it. If I was you...I would lock the saddle down, turn the cross slide 90*(indicated in) and zero out your compound on the first groove, then use cross slide to feed cutter into work, once to depth back out cross slide and move cutter via compound to the next groove. Continue till all groves are done. Be careful of your surface speed as psdpuller said. Orrrrr If your mill is outfitted with a rotary table you could once again find/make the right cutter and then use the z axis to get your groove spacing and your x axis for your groove depth. Easy peazy once set up. [/QUOTE]
